Case front LEDs

[nvening]

Hi,

I have just finished a system and the front leds dont seem to be working.
The buttons work and the motherboard connections are all ok, the only thing i can think of is that the leds are all broken??

Any ideas??

Thanks!

Are they plugged into the mobo? If so, try reversing the plugs.

Yeah reversing the plug helps, and make sure you plug 'em correctly, they can be quite confusing sometimes.

+another vote for just swapping the connector around 180degs. Sometimes they're just plain labelled wrong too

mine did same, i just turned the plugs round n it worked

[nvening]

Yep, that was the proplem thanks! The case connectors do not have a + and - sign on the s thats a bit stupid tbh.

My case had +ve and -ve on the wires but they were still wrong anyway

lol true, that happened to my old case, couldnt think why it wasnt turning the LED's on , so quickly turned them around on the mobo and yey it worked

This has happened to me too. Just swapping them around worked! Thanks guys.

It's suprising how many of the cases around get it wrong, i've gone through two that have been a pain, 'tis annoying when you build your system up then find you gotta take it all out to get to the damned tiny connectors

I never use the LED on the case lol
